Finding Your Place
 
The goal of the Membership Committee is to welcome you to ministry at First Church and to help you engage in worship, fellowship and mission in the church while serving God as disciples, following His son and our Lord Jesus Christ in all moments of our lives.

Our guiding and grounding principles that plan and shape our direction and mission are:

Recognizing the power of Christ to transform lives, the core mission of First Church is to:
     1.      Proclaim Christ’s message
     2.      Provide a community of spiritual nurture, and
     3.      Promote God’s vision of justice. 

This statement serves as our congregation’s identity as we seek to become God’s sent-out people. They guide us as we determine how we allocate talent, resources, and time. We look forward to charting our direction together as grateful stewards and loving family members over the coming years. We welcome you to join us in that ministry! 

As you decide to become a member of First Church you will be challenged to rethink what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ in this day and age.

A faithful member accepts God’s call to be involved in the mission and ministry of God’s church by:  

  • worshipping;
  • praying together and studying the Bible;
  • supporting the work of the church with time, money and talent;
  • demonstrating a new quality of life within and through the church;
  • responding to God’s activity in the world through service;
          living responsibly and working in the world for peace, justice,
          freedom and human fulfillment.
